# Threema Web

Threema Web is a web client for Threema. With Threema Web, you can use Threema
on your Desktop without compromising security.

Threema Web establishes a direct connection between Desktop and mobile device
using [WebRTC](https://webrtc.org/). Signaling is end-to-end encrypted with
[SaltyRTC](https://saltyrtc.org/). If both devices are in the same network, no
server is involved when synchronizing messages between the devices, and the
digital footprint is reduced to the bare minimum.

For more information, see the [Threema Web
Whitepaper](https://threema.ch/en/blog/posts/threema-web-whitepaper).


## Development

Threema Web is written using [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) and
[AngularJS 1](https://www.angularjs.org/). Dependencies are managed with
[npm](https://www.npmjs.com/).

Install development dependencies:

    npm install

Run the dev server:

    npm run serve:live

Then open the URL in your browser:

    chromium http://localhost:9966


## Testing

To run tests:

    npm run build
    chromium tests/testsuite.html

To run linting checks:

    npm run lint

You can also install a pre-push hook to do the linting:

    chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-push


## Configuration

The configuration of Threema Web can be tweaked in `src/config.ts`:

**General**

- `SELF_HOSTED`: Set this to `true` if this instance of Threema Web isn't being
  hosted on `web.threema.ch`.

**SaltyRTC**

- `SALTYRTC_HOST`: Set this to the hostname of the SaltyRTC server that you
  want to use. If set to `null`, the hostname will be constructed based on the

- `SALTYRTC_PORT`: The port of the SaltyRTC server to be used.
- `SALTYRTC_SERVER_KEY`: The public permanent key of the SaltyRTC server. Set
  this value to `null` if your server does not provide a public permanent key,
  or if you don't want to verify it.

**ICE**

- `SALTYRTC_STUN`: Configuration object for the WebRTC STUN server.
- `SALTYRTC_TURN`: Configuration object for the WebRTC TURN server.

**Push**

- `PUSH_URL`: The server URL used to deliver push notifications to the app.
